European airports are warning of potential jet fuel shortages within three weeks if oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz do not resume. The Airports Council International (ACI) Europe has expressed concerns that ongoing military tensions, particularly between the US and Israel against Iran, could lead to flight cancellations during the peak summer holiday season. Since early March, Brent crude oil prices have surged to around $96 per barrel, significantly impacting jet fuel costs, which have more than doubled to $1,650 per tonne globally. The UK, not an EU member, is noted as the most vulnerable country due to its dependence on Kuwait for fuel supplies. ACI emphasizes the need for proactive monitoring and action by the EU, as the aviation industry faces increasing challenges amid rising fuel prices and potential shortages. Airlines worldwide are already responding by cutting flights and increasing fares, which could contribute to higher inflation and economic repercussions if shortages materialize.
